Research direction

The payload names no files, tests or entry points. The request is for a crowd-sourced spam flag shown on incoming calls, and the reporter asks whether it would invade privacy, so the open question is the data model and privacy design, not code. Done would be a maintainer-agreed proposal covering what is reported, how it is anonymised and where it is stored, before any implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Feature description

the thing is after switching from an official app (like orange phone) to this FOSS app i sadly noticed that you couldn't report spammers/adds, the way it worked on the official orange phone app is : if a phone number was reported several times, when the reported phone number calls you there is a "may be an ads or a spam" kind of warning on the call screen on your phone... i really want to know if it dosn't invade privacy since i know FOSS dosn't work like closed source apps...

Why do you want this feature?

this would prevent wasting our time answering to spams or ads In my opinion !

Additional information

like i said i don't know if it could be a feature if it invades privacy but i really belive that this would be a great feature and a MASSIVE QoL for some users if we can anonymise the spams reports and ect...
thank you for the great app !
